One per day, raw, is plenty. You want to be careful or you'll start smelling like the stuff.

Try to swallow them without chewing or biting. Cut the pieces up if you want and swallow it like pills. This will avoid garlic breath.

If you consume too much, the scent will ooze out your pores.

Garlic is quite good for you, as are onions, etc., for similar reasons.
